Backyard Gold
Drift
Summer evening, casual dancing. Warm vocals over easy funk, the sound of a cookout turning into a party without anyone deciding. This track is sunshine as rhythm.
Lyrics
Afternoon stretching like a cat
Sunlight pooling on the grass
Got my feet up, got my drink
Got nothing better to do than this
And that's exactly right
That's exactly where I want to be
Backyard gold, backyard gold
This is the warmth I've been told about
Lazy hours, easy time
Everything's working out just fine
Backyard gold, golden day
Nothing urgent, come what may
The neighbors' music drifting over
Someone's grilling down the street
The world is happening all around me
But right here, right now, I'm complete
And that's exactly right
That's exactly where I'm meant to be
Backyard gold, backyard gold
This is the warmth I've been told about
Lazy hours, easy time
Everything's working out just fine
Backyard gold, golden day
Nothing urgent, come what may
This is what the week was for
This is what I'm working toward
Not the money, not the fame
Just these golden hours in the sun
Backyard gold
Golden afternoon
Backyard gold
Nothing but the groove
